BMW has recently unveiled the M 1000 XR, the third model in its M line-up, which is powered by an engine identical to the S 1000 RR superbike. When installed in this motorcycle, it generates 201 horsepower at 12,750 rpm and 113 Nm of torque at 11,000 rpm.
For faster acceleration, the M 1000 XR has shorter 4th-6th gears than the S 1000 XR, as well as shorter final drive gearing, with a 47-tooth rear sprocket versus a 45-tooth unit on the S. The chassis is similar to the S 1000 XR, but the M 1000 XR includes winglets that give 12kg of downforce at 220 kph. The M 1000 XR features unique M brake callipers and discs to control all that power, and it even comes equipped with the Brake Slide Assist system.
The M Competition Package comes with fully adjustable M footrests for both the driver and passenger, as well as M Carbon wheels, M Carbon elements such as a rear wheel cover with an integrated chain guard, side panels, front wheel cover, inner cover, and ignition/steering lock cover, and a lap timer. Additionally, the M Competition Package contains M Carbon wheels. The weight of the M 1000 XR will be reduced by an additional 3 kg if equipped with this pack.
